Notes: AmongstGuidoReni'smost enduringly popular images are his depictions of beautifully renderedbust-length, or near bust length, holy figures: various saints and apostles,the Magdalene, the Virgin and Christ himself. It was a genre that the artistessentially pioneered, paintings of heads that took as their subject not thephysical, but the psychological, description of the figure portrayed, a kind ofemotional portrait. All of Reni's biographers noted his skill at renderingheads in this manner, his ability to capture the much-admired depiction of affect,or physical description of sentiment in painting, whether in largecompositions, or on a smaller scale. The ease with which he painted themwas remarked upon.OverviewPaintings: This Penitent SaintPeter isan example of just this type of painting. It depicts a half-length figure ofthe Apostle Peter, his head resting on his hand while he looks forlornlyheavenward. Peter is shown without any of his usual attributes, and it is only throughReni's skillful depiction of the saint's distress at having denied Christ, arewe able to determine which of the disciples is represented. His other hand isopen across his bare breast, in a gesture both indicating his own guilt andasking for atonement. Reni's devout nature was often remarked upon by hiscontemporaries, and it was in such paintings as this he that allowed his ownpersonal piety full scope to express itself. The loose and expressive manner ofthe brushstrokes, sacrificing none of the finished quality that Reniappreciated in his own work, suggests that the Saint Peter should date tofairly late in the artist's career, to the very late 1630's, as his personalstyle was become much looser than it had been previously.

Item Overview Paintings: These Penitent Saint Peter, smooth and unified as the others, but withmasterful strokes, full of a thousand niceties observed in their falling foldsof skin,... nor with a certain sketchiness... did he depict with quick strokestheir beards and hair, like the softest of feathers, but to the contrary heused the ground of the painting almost like a playing field, throwing himselfagainst it with as much gusto as intelligence, done in a manner as no onebefore him had, the strands of hair twisting in different directions, deadenedor enlivened, conforming to their place in the front or below, and on the topof which he placed the first and final highlights giving [the painting] itsfinish.

Guido Reni's wasa favorite painter of the Borghese family, led then by Pope Paul V (Borghese).Reni also had a close relationship with Polish and Swedish Prince Wladyslaw VIVVasa. Reni never married. He died in his home city of Bologna in 1642.

Fun Facts: Reniwas known for his intense misogynistic personality and had a tendency to bebiased toward female subjects in his paintings. Reniwas an inveterate gambler. He would often work through commissions hurriedly topay off debts. Reni feared the presence ofwomen and even prevented female servants from entering his house.Attention: Late in life GuidoReni developed what 16th - 17th century critics calledhis second manner. Theloose and expressive manner of the brushstrokes, character and manner writingof the painting, suggests that the Saint Peter should date to fairly late inthe artist's career, as his personal style was become much looser than it hadbeen previously. Exploring the character style of the painting I can say,manner of the brushstrokes of the artist corresponds Guido Reni.
